| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| A Hoverfly (also known as the Flower fly or Syrphid fly) gets covered in pollen while visiting a flower. While the Hoverfly larvae look like normal maggots, adult Hoverflies more closely resemble bees and wasps than flies. However, they are easy to distinguish because of the way they dart between plants. Hoverflies have the unique ability to hover completely stationary while flying. Most adult hoverflies feed on nectar and pollen, and are excellent pollinators as can been expected by the photo. |
